SEO Boosters When it comes to the social and media sites that appear on the first page of the Influence 100's search results, unsurprisingly, LinkedIn and Twitter come out on top.

'Search Abhors A Vacuum'

In its quest to serve relevant search results, Google frequently includes results on social media sites.But while the name matches, they aren’t always profiles for the person intended in the search. The gap in these numbers represents an important opportunity for those corporate communicators not already using social media to begin to do so. Search abhors a vacuum and the search algorithm is filling that space with irrelevant content.

By a large margin, LinkedIn is the most popular network for this group. Twitter shows solid usage as well. Facebook presence is significantly lower.

Wikipedia is treated by Google as an authoritative information source. If a Wikipedia article matching the search term exists, it will likely rank well.
